Pursuant to a successful Kickstarter campaign, The Flatworks is offering up pre-orders of its PlyFly gas-powered wooden go-kart kit to those who didn't get in on the crowdfunding backing.

The PlyFly is a DIY kart that arrives in 3 boxes and assembles in one day. Or under 4 minutes if you can move at the time lapsed speed of the Flatworks' demo video. Once complete you'll have a full-size kart with a 2.5 HP gas engine capable of tooling around town at up to 25 mph. Kits include all wooden parts, hardware, and the engine. And in addition to a splinter or two, a completed PlyFly will give you:

Rack and pinion steering

Disc brake

Foam filled tires (non-pneumatic)

Adjustable seat (can accommodate a large adult)

Smartphone mount for action video and telemetry

Safety flag for increase visibility

The Flatworks is also offering up a 4HP edition of the PlyFly for those in search of a little more speed and power, and in a position to spend an extra $100.

If the only reason you don't own an ATV is that you're worried it will be too complicated, too much work, or too space-consuming to load onto your truck for transport (i.e., it's not your wife, mama, or bank account telling...

According to its Russian designers, the Tarus 2x2 is an ATV made to "overcome bezdorozhya." I don't know exactly what "bezdorozhya" is--it stumped my Google translator--but if the Tarus promo video is any indication...
